This brand-new manual offers New Jersey high school students in-depth content and conceptual preparation for the required statewide biology exam. An introductory chapter describes biology as a scientific discipline and discusses the characteristics of all living things. Fifteen chapters that follow focus on specifics, which include:

Cells, organic biomolecules, cellular transport and reproduction

Molecular genetics, Mendelian genetics, and genetic technology

Energy exchanges and classification of living things

Energetics

Human body systems and classification of living things

Ecology, biomes, and human impacts on life forms and on the earth

Each chapter concludes with a glossary of biological terms, suggestions to students for organizing their notes, and review questions with answers that reflect question types on the actual test.
